Naruto Time Control

Chapter 127: This method is very Hiruzen.

Konoha front camp.

Inside a tent.

Yeruashi, Kurenai and Shizune were sitting on the bed playing cards.

After killing the Third Raikage, Yeruashi was too lazy to go to the meeting and discuss the strategy of fighting against with Kumogakure, so he just said that he needed to rest after a hard battle, and no one dared to object and try to force him to make him go to the meeting.

If there were four people, they could play Mahjong, but Tsunade went to the meeting and Rin followed Minato to the Kirigakure battlefield, so they could only play poker for three.

Since the opening of the sixth gate of the Hachimon Tonko will take more than a year, it may be time to pay attention to Sage Mode, because now his chakra volume has surpassed the Jounin level and he is gradually approaching the minimum level required to practice Sage Mode . .

"Hehe, ladder!"

Shizune smiled and opened her cards.

Yeruashi looked at the cards, put them aside and said, "You've been doing quite well. Shizune, those marks you left on the cards, even I didn't notice them right away..... Kurenai, you also count cards like I do."

"What!"

Kurenai looked at Shizune in astonishment and said, "Shizune, did you mark the cards?"

Shizune stiffened and looked cautiously at Yeruashi, "How did you notice that?"

"I didn't actually find the marks themselves, it was just a guess..."

Yeruashi smiled slightly and said, "Observing your behavior, I immediately noticed some oddities, it wasn't hard to come to the conclusion that you were cheating."

Kurenai grunted in disgust, "Ah, that's why, as the game progressed, there was always a strange feeling that I was being watched."

"It's okay, no one said cheating is forbidden."

Yeruashi said quietly, "That's not a bad way to train a ninja."

Just as Kurenai was about to say something, a figure entered the tent.

Seeing the newcomer, Shizune and Kurenai abruptly stood up, turned around and greeted him.

"Hokage-sama!"

"Well, I'll take a look at Yeruashi's recovery, you guys can leave first."

Hiruzen smiled politely.

Kurenai and Shizune immediately left the tent, not daring to disobey the Hokage.

Yeruashi sat on the bed, gathered the cards in the deck and said quietly, "Thank you, Hokage-sama, for your concern, what about Kumogakure?"

"Ah, the situation has not improved..."

Hiruzen shook his head, "The new Raikage agreed to negotiate, but on one condition... he demands to hand you over. It seems that peace talks are impossible, Kumogakure will fight to the end..."

Then he sighed deeply and said confidently, "Ah, even if this terrible war continues and the number of casualties only increases, we can only fight with all our strength, because we will never sacrifice our hero!"

If it were someone else in Yeruashi's place, he would have been moved by Hiruzen's words, but Yeruashi saw everything in a completely different light.

At first, he voiced Kumogakure's demands and said that peace talks were impossible, and then focused on the sacrifices that the continuation of the war would bring... meeting Yeruashi with the idea that his sacrifice can save Konoha and the Fire Country from this miserable war.

Given Yeruashi's current strength and state, other people cannot force him to sacrifice himself, only he can make that decision.

And this old man is really "good".....

The most powerful village, which successfully resisted the attack of all other Great Ninja Villages, during the Second and Third Ninja World War, later experienced "incredible growth" and was almost destroyed by one of the Sannins.

Old man, aren't you a spy for the enemy village? Maybe you weren't called away from the mission for so long that you ended up becoming a Hokage!!!!

Yeruashi felt an irresistible desire to unsheathe the Kusanagi Sword, and cut off this old man's head because of his performance right here.

Hiruzen, have you really fallen into senility, since you dare to speak such incoherent nonsense?

"Ah, if the sacrifice of one person can bring prosperity to many, then I am willing to become a bridge to peace, but, Lord Hokage, can you trust Kumogakure?"

Yeruashi disinterestedly said and looked into Hiruzen's eyes.

These words hit the weakest point of the situation and unconditionally stopped all of Hiruzen's thoughts, he himself is well aware that Kumogakure cannot be trusted, this argument cannot be refuted.

"That's right."

Hiruzen nodded, "Kumogakure can't be trusted, so you shouldn't even consider that offer, I'm sure Konoha can win this war anyway."

These words from Yeruashi also allowed Hiruzen to clearly realize that he could no longer control this young ninja.

Ninja closely associated with the dark side of Konoha, be it Danzo or Orochimaru, are under his control, but Yeruashi, who relies solely on his personal strength and military merit, is beyond his control.

At that time, he was experiencing very conflicting emotions.

The emergence of such a powerful ninja, who was out of his control, made Hiruzen, who seeks to keep everything under personal control, feel a strong threat.

He now has two options.

Raise Yeruashi as the future Fifth or Fourth Hokage, or try to immediately suppress from Konoha superiors as much as possible.

But Hiruzen is more inclined to Minato's candidacy, as he only seeks the welfare of Konoha, regardless of power and other things, it is that person who is best suited to become the next Hokage.

And Yeruashi is Orochimaru's disciple.

I will definitely support Orochimaru as Hokage.

Once Orochimaru became the Fourth Hokage, making Yeruashi the Fifth Hokage would practically be a done deal, but Hiruzen really didn't want to see someone like Orochimaru as Hokage.

Right!

Hiruzen suddenly thought, he remembered Yeruashi's brother! Kakashi is a great ninja and Minato's disciple!

If Minato becomes the Fourth Hokage and Kakashi becomes the Fifth Hokage, this will inevitably affect Yeruashi's position and attitude!

As for whether the power of Konoha will completely fall into the hands of the two brothers, Yeruashi and Kakashi, when Kakashi succeeds Hokage, Hiruzen didn't even think about it.

Because it won't happen until decades later.

"By the way, I'll send you to the Rain Country."

Hiruzen decided not to bring up the previous matter again and changed the subject.

"The Rain Country?"

Yeruashi looked at Hiruzen strangely.

Hiruzen described the situation on the Earth Country front, mentioning that Amegakure ninja led by Hanzo attacked Konoha, teaming up with Iwagakure, which caused the situation to deteriorate sharply.

"I didn't expect Master Orochimaru and Major Danzo to get into such a difficult situation."

In the depths of Yeruashi's eyes, a light shone.

Danzo had dug a hole for him?

Heh heh...

If this was really the case, there might be a good chance of eliminating Danzo without consequences and laying the groundwork for taking control of Konoha. Yeruashi had no desire for years to follow Danzo, waiting for the backstabbing.

With his current strength, it is still quite difficult for him to participate in the behind-the-scenes affairs of the ninja world, but everything else can be solved without much trouble.
